About

I am from Kent in England and have been living in Sharm el Sheikh for the best part of 2 years and absolutly love it. Ive had my ups and downs, laughed and cried but i dont regret anything. Now Im jus back in England for a while to earn some money and then I will go back to Sharm and hopefully set up my own business there. Obviously times are hard in Egypt at the moment but im hoping things will get better. I am thinking of doing a business that will benefit the local Egyptians and not just the tourists. I am also doing a TEFL teaching course while I am back in England so I can look into teaching jobs as I will be qualified to teach English anywhere in the world. If anyone has any advice for me I would love to hear it. Also if there are any jobs that may be availabe from the summer where I could be teaching English I would be very interested. I can offer lots of info, advice ect for anyone thinking of moving to Sharm so feel free to ask :)
Interests: reading, , music, spending days at the beach!, socialising

My expat journey

englandegyptegypt
Beirut, Egypt

Beirut, Egypt

The move could be back on :) Hoping to get to Lebanon too be with my boyfriend but its very early days yet.
I will be looking for any job i can get but ideally would like to work Customer Service or Guest Relation in a hotel.
The pictures i have seen of Lebanon look amazing, such a beautiful country and the people seem very fun.
Guess I will find that out when I get there.

Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt

Since Oct 2009

Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt

I came here on a 2 month holiday with my friend and i loved it so much that I moved here. Life here is amazaing, I have had the pleasure of meeting lots of different people and have so many great friends here now. There has been ups and downs but I have no regrets and I am so happy here.
I started off working as animation but soon moved to a customer service job in a large resort.
Everything!! The people here are generally very kind and helpful, I have a lot of very close friends here. I love the sun, the sea, the night life, the whole atmosphere just makes me feel at home.
That i have not yet been to Alexandria!! Everyone tells me how amazing and beatuiful it is but I havent got around to visiting it yet.

Kent, England

Sept 1987 - Sept 2009

Kent, England

I had a great life in England, loving family and friends, good job but always something was missing. I was always out with my friends, going clubbing, chilling out, driving my car anywhere and SHOPPING!!!
My main job was the assistant manager of my family business but aside from that I have worked in other shops, done bar work and even waitressing.
I love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoyed growning up in the country side. A lot of little things you miss when you move away like the food and even sometimes the rain!!
The cold, the miserable feeling which a lot of people seem to have in England, the lack of manners and the government taking my money to give to those who are to lazy to get a job!!!
